Red Nicotiana recommendations

in Plants
Hello,
I grew some mixed Nicotiana from seed for the first time this year and have been amazed at how well they've done both in pots and in the ground.
Anyway, I'd like to plant a few more in another border which is all warm coloured. Therefore I'm looking for a recommendation for a nice deep red variety. I'd like a red that's more scarlet, crimson or burgundy rather than cerise etc. To go with the other plants I have. Height of approx 60cm would be ideal.
Just wondered if anyone had any experience growing such a variety and where they got it from. I have found that you can't always trust labels/websites when it comes to colours. I know I've bought plants before that were described as red but that were really pink etc.
Thanks in advance
